Dense upright clump of blue-green leaves that turn wine red in early summer. Purple flower panicles appear just above the foliage in late summer. |

Clump-forming grass. Prefers moist soil, but is fairly soil-adaptable. Usually three to four feet tall, but can reach up to six feet. Spreads by rhizomes and requires competition. Foliage is green-blue in summer, golden or reddish in fall. Delicate, airy seed heads appear in mid-late summer. Food source for game and grazing animals. Butterfly larvae host plant.
